Dr. Martin Nielsen
b'
Jec talks with Dr. Martin Nielsen, a parasitologist at the University of Kentucky and one of our super-fantastic presenters at the Best Horse Practices Summit in Lexington, Kentucky, Nielsen\\u2019s backyard, in October.
Martin has a host of popular YouTube videos that debunk deworming. Deworming is the traditional, not-best-practices method that many of us are familiar with.
Perhaps you, too, have ordered that value pack from some website with four different dewormers for four times a year deworming. Yeah, that\\u2019s not the best thing to do for your horse, turns out.
There might be more misinformation about deworming than there is about the 2020 election. I kid you not.
Anyway, Nielsen has great insight here. Apologies for some less than ideal audio.\\xa0
